If I may? Tenet, not tenant, and principal groomer not principle. :-)

Thank you, klimer, so true and so sad.

Oh, and the only thing I would say differently... "regular" medicine was always a scam. Going as far back as records reach.

My doctor asked me if I was depressed, bc I was stopping medical treatment. I knew the question was really not about how I felt but whether I'd like a medication. Double speak.

That’s another aspect of current healthcare that I should have found a way to work into my post: the way that if their treatment doesn’t fix the problem, that you must be imagining your symptoms. If it’s all in your head, don’t worry! They have worthless psycho-drugs. Hopefully you can find help outside of corporatized orthodox medicine.

I have read your article multiple times, and I cannot overstate how much I LOVE your work! Your grasp on cult-speak loaded language is awe-inspiring to me. (I want to grow up and be you). 😂😂

I grew up 4th generation in a religious cult that was funded by the Rothschilds, so I know a little bit about the use of loaded language to control and confuse the rank & file recruits. After exiting the cult (and losing 36-members of my immediate family in the process, because I committed “heresy” and became an “apostate”) I learned about the B.I.T.E. Model used by cults. You may find similarities of this model as you continue to write about this subject.

In the B.I.T.E. Model the B = Behavior Control; the I = Information Control; the T = Thought Control and the E equals Emotional Control.

All of these elements can be encompassed in language, especially the misuse of language.

Your work is brilliant, bravo!!

Have you considered taking it a step further? Yes, you are absolutely correct that one of the motivations is profit & the almighty $$. Yet, there is a much more sinister plot that runs underneath just the profits.

In Rudolf Steiner’s last speech that he presented in Dornach, Switzerland he spoke of a time when mankind would have the technical ability to create a vaccine (Quackzine) that would have the capability to separate a human from its innate spiritual connection. Since Steiner, many today believe the m/RNA technology has the ability to do just that by rewriting & rewiring mankind’s DNA. Perhaps the doublespeak is not just about profit, but about transforming humans, preparing them for the next phase of enslavement.

Thanks for the kudos and the great comment!

My focus for more than 20 years has been health, and over that span of time I’ve been able to separate out much of the fact and fiction. Plus I’ve also had some unique personal health experiences, and the truths from those can’t be undermined by any amount of gaslighting.

So I have a number of health-related north stars that help me to triangulate the truth in our current sea of misinformation. If I were to write about things outside of health, I’d likely flagellate and do at least as much harm as good. So I’ll stick to my lane and let others opine about the meaning of the times that we are currently experiencing.

But I do agree that the end game is taking away personal freedom, and perhaps implementing a digital means of optimizing people for dull, dirty, monotonous tasks that few people want to do today.

I’m wary of next July 4th, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. If I were an evil overlord who loves symbology, I’d choose that day to say that I was taking back what the US stole from my ancestors way back then…

The BITE model pretty well encapsulates what happened to the vast majority of people that I knew when COVID hit. And it’s the emotional control that makes it so difficult for them to open their eyes to what is really going on.

The most prevalent medical doublespeak is so frequently used and so successful we generally ignore it. Health.

Health care: medical care. Nobody cares about or for your health.

Health clinic: medical clinic, disease clinic. If you go to a health clinic when you are not diseased - they will send you home.

Health insurance: medical insurance. No insurance company cares if you are "not sick" AKA "healthy" in "medical speak."

To your health Tracy

More doublespeak? "In 1900, 2% of U.S. GDP went to healthcare, but today it consumes nearly 19%."

Nope. In 1900, 2% of US GDP went to medical care, but today medical care consumes nearly 19%.

Healthcare is doublespeak, a marketing term, a polite word for medical care. No doctor, no clinic, no hospital, and no insurance company is interested in your health. There is no money in caring for anyone's health. Wait until they are sick. Then they have profit potential. If you go do a doctor when you are well, when you have no disease - they don't want to talk to you.

There is too much truth in what you say. Healthcare won’t warn you of impaired kidney function until you are left with only about 20% of function remaining. They don’t want you to have sufficient warning to turn things around. They want you to fall off the cliff, so they can heroically save you with dialysis.
